Hymns of Hermes
Search in google:
Hymns of Hermes examines Hermetic ecstatic hymns, which are poetic songs used to describe the Gnosis of Hermetic attainment-the ecstatic personal experience of the divine. The invaluable commentary from author G.R.S. Mead makes the hymns themselves comprehensible and relevant to modern seekers, removing the veil of the occult to reveal the secrets behind these verses. Mead draws parallels between Gnostic and Hermetic thought, which were strikingly similar. Anyone interested in Gnostic thought and the formation of early Christian doctrine will be interested in the similarities with Hermetic teaching from the same era. In the Introduction, Stephan A. Hoeller describes the role and influence of Hermetic thought on the early Church and Gnostics, its position in the history of Western thought, and its renaissance in Gnostic and Hermetic studies today.
